Carvajal on Chelsea radar

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is reportedly monitoring the situation of Real Madrid full-back Dani Carvajal.

The Spanish defender has struggled to cement a regular starting spot this season, with manager Rafael Benitez preferring summer signing Danilo for the right-back role.

According to Metro, the Portuguese head coach is keeping tabs on Carvajal, with Branislav Ivanovic struggling to maintain his performance levels in recent months.

The report adds that the 23-year-old will assess his options once he recovers from a thigh injury.

Chelsea have had a dismal start to their league campaign, and currently find themselves in 16th place with 15 points.
